Yea it'd be cool to see more vids of your mustang drifting. Have you had any close calls yet? i know it's pretty easy to loose control of your car that way. i saw it on ESPN one day and there were a few crashes in the short time i watched it. Seems fun but I don't know if i'd enjoy going through tires that fast! haha 
i want to get my car set up for road courses. Turns are just fun...i only have my fun on back roads right now and hardly over the speed limit. They have a charity event at a road course near me every year that is open to all cars which is all i've done so far. i'd like to get all into racing schools and i need to do a lot of suspension work but it's all just a matter of money!

the paint job i was just going for the old school hotrod look to be honest. the car used to be sonic blue and it look to much like purple so i painted it. and tire warehouse paid us to do a demonstration and we have three cars so i wanted them to all be black and mine was the only one that wasn't. i get **** all the time cause it's a 2004 GT and i painted it flat black
af;ja;sdlfkja;sdlkfj OK I was fine with the drifting...that stuffs cool with me (minus the whole aesthetic based sport thing...). BUT WTF! You painted a SONIC BLUE car BLACK?!?
Seriously...it's one of the coolest, deepest, unique colors on any car around!I'm gonna go sit in my corner and cry now.
I dunno why so many here have a problem with drifting. It obviously takes some work done to the car and some skill on the part of the driver to be done well. I applaud that someone decided to take on the sport with a vehicle that doesnt sound like its exhaust is traveling through a 2 ft long kazoo!

5th graders > me. They're not bant
The paint job, looks good, flat black is old school muscle car...just would pain me to paint over a expensive paint job with a cheap one...no going back.
As for drifting, everyone always saying its an import thing.....maybe its an import thing because all the domestic muscle car guys just sit around and complain about it rather than getting into it to compete and whoop some ass. Ya don't see the import guys sitting around bitchin' about drag racing, nope, they're building quick ass civic hatchbacks that'll whoop butt. So what's the deal? Is drifting stupid cuz its an import thing or is drifting stupid because it involves sliding around a track with two wheels in control. Don't see anything wrong with that.

I would drift if tires weren't so expensive... drifting is the rich man's (or more commonly boy's) sport.
That being said imo i think drifting is incredibly dumb and the fad will die out in 5 years or so, yes its been around in japan for years but look what goes on in Japan. I have friends who drift and they're the most immature people i've ever met.

Maybe if involves another mustang putting a smile on someone's face we should just let it ride. Each unto their own ......

I think most people here dislike drifting because so many in the import world embrace it. And since most Mustang guys hate imports, they hate the things they are into. It's a form of car racism
Personally i don't see a difference between drifting and powersliding. It's the same thing to me. Import guys drift, muscle car guys are into powersliding. Same thing really.
C'mon how many of you guys grew up playing Gran Tourismo on PS. All you did during the game was mod up a RWD car with 900HP and practice powersliding around ever corner with the ass end hanging way out. Don't lie you know you did it!
Remember the Ford GT commercial that aired during the Superbowl in 2001 that showed the car powersliding around a curve with big clouds of smoke pouring from it's rear wheels as it hung the corner at 100MPH or so? How cool was that? You know that got you all excited!
But someone turns it into a majorily import based sport and all the sudden everyone hates it due to ricer association. Car Racism i tell you.

Yeah, but that car would look killer in "Mad Max IV"

jesus...whos in charge of revoking mustang licenses??
i woulda killed for a sonic blue GT.. closest one was oklahoma and they wanted 600 over MSRP for it... sorry, for 21 OTD i'll take my silver.. but wish i had sonic...
i do agree that there is a massive hatred on drifting because its an import start. final answer, most of the D1 (pro international circuit) drift ring are 40-50 year old guys. the hubinette (sp) viper, team konig's steeda build 05 GT, the GTO with the aussie driver, the dodge charger that entered this year, and i have heard rumors of a new z06 being setup for it.... and guess what... american muscle is putting almost all the imports to shame. yes kids, american cars are taking over the "*** spec, ricer ass, worthless no-skill, import king, boy-racer, gonna die soon, homo-sport". sure there are a lot of kids that play the roll poorly and damn near kill themselves faking the drift thing..... thats a casualty of popularity. ever hear of people wrecking and getting killed/killing others in a drag race? **** happens.
anyhow.... the GT is easily setup for drifting either some solid power (300 or so to the wheels) or around 270 with some 4:10 gears and you have the abilty to put the back end where its needed. then either the steeda 5 link (not my personal choice) or a panhard rod (or watts) with a 3 link (torque arm or trilink) will set the rear end to be masterfully places and moved around the track. dont worry about most of these guys as most of them cant wrap their mind around the sport (and remove the fad aspect) let alone put themselves into a position of gearing the GT to compete.
